Returns to matchday squad
Wynder (ankle) returned to the matchday squad but was an unused substitute in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Colorado Rapids.
Analysis: Wynder made his first appearance in the squad since suffering the ankle injury that was expected to sideline him for around six weeks. He remained on the bench throughout Saturday's victory, suggesting his workload could initially be managed following the lengthy absence. Wynder had made 19 appearances, including 12 starts, without a goal or assist before the injury.
Set for multi-week absence
Wynder will miss the next six weeks due to the ankle injury he sustained against the Dynamo, according to manager Greg Vanney.
Analysis: Wynder exited the previous match with the injury, and Vanney revealed that the recovery timeline will be around six weeks. That means Wynder won't return to the squad until early to mid-October at best. This shouldn't have a big impact on fantasy, however, as Wynder has been limited to just 12 starts in 19 appearances with no goals or assists in 2026.
